Good point.

What I would say is that my mobile apps have very large buttons. Any 'miss' could only really occur at the edge of each button.

So in that case I could use the event coordinates in contrast to the dimensions of the button to decide whether to revert to onClick() behaviour.

  Edges            ==> onClick()
  Center/Sweetspot ==> onTouchStart()

Fantastic tweak! Fast for good clicks, slow for more ambiguous ones.
